I wonderful little board book by Venus which shows the journey of a young boy who is taken on a walk around town and to the park in order to feed the ducks. With a style of writing akin to Pat Hutchins and a narrative similar to Shirley Hughes, this book was a delight, showing a diverse range of children and people of different colour. Dads are at the park with their young children alongside mums, there is a busy local markplace - all drawn at the same eye-line as Max and, like Hughes, you get the feeling that Venus has observed and known this community a long time. Simple words and phrases on every page leave space to the young reader to explore.
